$1.85
$8.56
$6.30
$2.73
$5.25
$4.09
$7.95

Respuesta :

Answer: No , it is not reasonable as the total amount is sum upto $34 but in register the amount of bill is shown is greater than the original bill amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The prices  rounded off to the nearest dollar were as follows:

$1.85  → $2

$8.56  → $9

$6.30  → $6

$2.73  → $3

$5.25  → $5

$4.09  → $4

$7.95  → $8

– $0.85 (coupon)  → $1

– $2.10 (coupon) →  $2

So, total amount will be

[tex]2+9+6+3+5+4+8-1-2=\$34[/tex]

But the value in the register gives total bill as $41.44

So, it is not reasonable as the total amount is sum upto $34 but in register the amount of bill is shown is greater than the original bill amount.
